CPEAK -- This is a weather station on the summit of Caribou Peak (2537' / 773m ASL) in the Caribou Poker Creeks Research Watershed. It consists of a 10-meter tower with various atmospheric sensors and ground temperature thermistors at eleven different depths.
More information can be found at CPCRW Real Time Meteorological Stations at the Water and Environmental Research Center
CRREL-Met -- This is considered the primary climate station in the Caribou Poker Creeks Research Watershed. Located in the lower part of the watershed near the confluence of Caribou and Poker creeks, this station consists of a 12-meter tower with various atmospheric sensors, a separate tower with long and short wave radiometers, ground temperature sensors and soil moisture probes at various depths, plus an older site about 25 meters away with two air temperature sensors and additional ground temperature thermistors.
